An anti-war government would work to end the displacement of people as a result of wars of aggression and occupation and to provide humanitarian aid to refugees and victims of natural disasters.

International trade based on mutual benefit and development, and a withdrawal from all neo-liberal free trade deals that have put Canada’s human and natural resources at the disposal of the monopolies.
